Is the Corelle Portofino set microwave and oven safe?

Yes. Every piece is microwave safe and safe in a preheated oven up to 350°F. Do not use it under a broiler or on a stovetop.

How many people does it serve?

It serves eight. The 32 pieces are eight each of dinner plates, salad plates, appetizer plates and cereal bowls, plus eight soup bowls.

Will the plates chip or break?

Corelle's tempered glass resists chips and cracks better than most ceramic, and owners report it surviving drops. It is not unbreakable, and edges can still chip with hard impacts.

Does it stack in small cabinets?

Yes. The plates and bowls are thin and nest closely, so a full service for eight takes noticeably less shelf space than stoneware.

Can I add more pieces later?

Corelle sells open-stock pieces in many patterns, but matching the Portofino pattern exactly depends on availability. Check that replacement pieces match before relying on it.

Is the pattern likely to fade?

The design is fired into the glass, but some owners of older Corelle patterns report fading after years of dishwasher use. Washing on a gentler cycle can help.
